Several machines have used DIN connectors (of various numbers of pins) as
the serial port, but AFAIK there was no standard for them. Well, there
was a sort-of standard for 8 pin DIN serial ports, but...

Cna you trace inside the programmer to at least determine which lines are
inputs and outputs? Finding the ground(s) should be easy too.
